	26 Aug 2024	01. Taking on the Mind of Christ (2003) - Dallas Willard	00:56:06
Following Christ: Taking on the Mind of Christ January 1, 2003 "The Following Christ conference was an annual event hosted by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. Dallas had the honor of speaking at the closing session of the conference that took place in Atlanta, GA, December 28, 2002 - January 1, 2003. He painted a beautiful picture of what it means to follow Christ, urging believers to embrace the mind of Christ as outlined in Philippians 2. *Philippians 2:1-8* Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross.

	09 Sep 2024	03. Worship as the Fine Texture of Real Life (2008) - Dallas Willard	00:50:56
Worship as the Fine Texture of Real Life January 25, 2008 At the 2008 Calvin College Symposium of Worship, Dallas spoke on “Worship as the Fine Texture of Real Life.” He explained what worship is and how it can become a part of everything we do. Dallas read these two definitions of worship: 1. "In worship we engage ourselves with, dwell upon, and express the supreme greatness, beauty and goodness of God – primarily through thought and devotion of our wills, but usually also with the aid of words, rituals and symbols, frequently in union with others." — Dallas Willard (The Spirit of the Disciplines) 2. "Worship is admiration to the point of wonder and delight." — A.W.

	02 Sep 2024	02. How to Save Your Life (2011) - Dallas Willard	00:39:04
How to Save Your Life September 12, 2011 When you think about the phrase “being saved,” most people think about saving their soul. But what about the rest of you? Dallas explains that salvation is for every aspect of our lives and helps us understand how to redeem our time and bring everything we do back into the kingdom of God. Definitions: · “Spiritual formation” is the process of shaping the individual so that they love God with all their heart, with all their soul, with all their mind, and with all their strength, and they love their neighbor as themselves. · “Salvation” is being caught up in the life that Jesus is now living on earth. · “Redemption” is to buy something back. · “Beauty” is goodness made present to the senses. · “Truth” is a reflection of reality, including beauty and goodness. · “Goodness” is all that nourishes and strengthens human life in a proper order.

	14 Oct 2024	08. Growing Together Until the Harvest (1983)	00:44:26
Presented at Harbor Church, Los Angeles, California April 3, 1983 Scripture: Matthew 13:1-30 (especially 24-30), Matthew 13:47-53 In today’s episode, we see how “The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares” and “The Parable of the Net” illustrate that there are many differences in the kinds of people who find a place in the kingdom of God. This includes understanding that some people who are living IN the kingdom or not OF the kingdom. Being IN something is a much more superficial thing than being OF it. But God has said “whosoever will may come,” and it is His desire for us to grow together. So we need to be careful to stay focused on Jesus and the best ways to help ourselves and be his disciples. This is the fifth session of a 12-part series Dallas called “The Parabolic Teaching About Christ’s Kingdom by Christ Himself.” The series is the foundation of a new book available on October 15th called “The Scandal of the Kingdom.” The book offers an opportunity to dig more deeply into the parables of Jesus.

	21 Oct 2024	09. The Vineyard and the Wicked Husbandmen (1983)	00:43:28
Parables #6. The Vineyard and the Wicked Husbandmen Parable: The Parable of the Vineyard Presented at Harbor Church, Los Angeles, California April 10, 1983 Scripture: Luke 20:1-47, Matthew 21:33-46 In Matthew 7:15-23, Jesus talks about false prophets and knowing a tree by its fruit. The Parable of the Vineyard points out that Israel had developed leaders who led against God instead of for him, and shows what happens to those who lead (even with God’s power), but are not with God in their hearts. Dallas looks at the context of this parable, as Israel’s religious leaders were clinging desperately to their authority in opposition and fear of the unique authority Jesus had. Such battles for spiritual authority continue today. It is important to try to understand just where the failure of these men were so we might understand ourselves better and guard our own hearts, and pray for those who lead us in an effective way. This is the sixth session of a 12-part series Dallas called “The Parabolic Teaching About Christ’s Kingdom by Christ Himself.” This series is the foundation of a new book published on October 15th called “The Scandal of the Kingdom.” The book offers an opportunity to dig more deeply into the parables of Jesus.

The Ten Virgins and the Evil Watchman. “A Revelation of the Heart” Parables: The Evil Servant, The Ten Virgins Presented at Harbor Church, Los Angeles, California April 24, 1983 Scripture: Matthew 24:42-51, Matthew 25:1-13, Luke 12:41-48 Today’s episode brings us to the point in Jesus’ ministry when he was beginning to prepare his disciples for three aspects of the future: 1.

	11 Nov 2024	12. The Unforgiving Servant (1983)	00:48:30
Session 9. The Forgiving Heart and the Kingdom of God Parable: The Unforgiving Servant Presented at Harbor Church, Los Angeles, California May 1, 1983 Scripture: Matthew 18:15-35 This is the ninth session of a 12-part series Dallas called “The Parabolic Teaching About Christ’s Kingdom by Christ Himself,” and today’s focus is on the gift of forgiveness. Many of us have a hard time with forgiveness, and sometimes that’s because of misunderstandings about what it is and how we should approach it. In this episode, Dallas clarifies what is and is not a part of what it means to forgive someone (i.e. it doesn’t mean you forget about it and your relationship becomes the same as before) and offers helpful advice about things we can do to help us practice forgiveness. He also shares his interpretation of Matthew 18:35 (So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.) and Matthew 6:12 (Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.). If you’d like to learn more about how to make forgiveness a natural part of your life, visit our website and listen to the 3-hour workshop Dallas taught in 1996 called “From Forgiveness to Blessing.” https://dwillard.org/resources/audio/from-forgiveness-to-blessing Visit https://DWillard.org for a wide variety of resources and opportunities that can serve as a means to help you “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Dallas Willard Ministries exists to proclaim, teach and manifest the love, truth and transforming power of Christ and the Kingdom of God.

	18 Nov 2024	13. The Folly of Possessions and Riches: The Rich Fool (1983)	00:48:06
The Folly of Possessions and Riches: The Rich Fool Parable: The Rich Fool Presented at Harbor Church, Los Angeles, California May 15, 1983 Scripture: Luke 12:13-40 Today we’re studying the Parable of the Rich Fool. A fool is a person who misjudges means to ends and chooses the wrong end. The farmer in the Parable of the Rich Fool was a man who had chosen to let his soul rest in his wealth instead of in God. In this parable and the story of what caused Jesus to tell it, we learn how to have a Kingdom mindset with our finances and other assets. Dallas helps us apply these concepts by inviting us to consider the question, “What is your life?” John Wesley offered the following counsel on wealth management: “Get all you can. Save all you can. Give all you can.” Dallas recommends inserting “Use all you can” into Wesley’s instructions after “Save all you can.” Use what you have for the glory of God. It’s better to have wealth in the hands of Christ’s followers than anywhere else. This is the tenth session of our 12-part series entitled “The Parabolic Teaching About Christ’s Kingdom by Christ Himself.” On the Sunday prior to teaching about the Parable of the Rich Fool, Dallas had taught a class based on The Parable of the Hours. We don’t have that recording, but where Dallas has taught it elsewhere, he used it to illustrate the upside-down kingdom in action through the way we do business and care for those less fortunate than us. That teaching is available along with more from Dallas about financial responsibility in the Kingdom of God in The Scandal of the Kingdom: https://dwillard.org/resources/books/the-scandal-of-the-kingdom Visit https://DWillard.org for a wide variety of resources and opportunities that can serve as a means to help you “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Dallas Willard Ministries exists to proclaim, teach and manifest the love, truth and transforming power of Christ and the Kingdom of God.

Persistence is the Prerequisite: The “Unprofitable” Servant, and The Widow and the Mean Judge Parables: The Unprofitable Servant, The Persistent Widow, The Pharisee and the Tax Collector Presented at Harbor Church, Los Angeles, California May 22, 1983 Scripture: Luke 17:3-10; Luke 18:1-17 “Strive to enter at the straight gate. For straight is the gate, and narrow is the way that leadeth into life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13 One of the better-known quotes from Dallas Willard is, “Grace is not opposed to effort; it is opposed to earning.” In today’s episode, Dallas is teaching on the persistent effort that is required if we expect to grow in our faith. Dallas says, “Faith is a matter of knowing how to speak the creative word of God with God. That's faith. Faith is seeing things to be so, which are in the will and vision and purpose of God, so that you are joined with God in speaking the creative words.” This is the eleventh session of a 12-part series Dallas called “The Parabolic Teaching About Christ’s Kingdom by Christ Himself.” This series is the foundation for Dallas’s book, The Scandal of the Kingdom. https://dwillard.org/resources/books/the-scandal-of-the-kingdom Join us next time as Dallas wraps up the series with the parable of the Good Samaritan.

	02 Dec 2024	15. The Good "Half-Breed" and the Full-Blooded Stinkers. The Neighborliness of the Kingdom. (1983)	00:43:26
The Good "Half-Breed" and the Full-Blooded Stinkers. The Neighborliness of the Kingdom. Parable: The Good Samaritan Presented at Harbor Church, Los Angeles, California May 29, 1983 Scripture: Luke 10 :23-42 This is the final session of a 12-part series Dallas called “The Parabolic Teaching About Christ’s Kingdom by Christ Himself.” All the talks in this series, along with quite a bit of Dallas’s additional teaching about the parables of Jesus can be found in his book The Scandal of the Kingdom: How the Parables of Jesus Revolutionize Life with God. https://dwillard.org/resources/books/the-scandal-of-the-kingdom. The word “scandal” is in the title because of the way the religious leaders in Jesus’ day responded to him. As we’ve learned in this series, they thought Jesus’ behavior (eating with sinners!) and his teaching (saying all are welcome in the kingdom of heaven!) was scandalous. If you’d like to explore some of the writing of G. Campbell Morgan that was so influential for Dallas in teaching this series, start here: https://amzn.to/3AW54AY To learn more from Dallas about loving your neighbor, see the Neighborhood Initiative playlist on the Dallas Willard Ministries YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ7tmLfYg7S-VCAg20hSQKXILRx2iGC41 Visit https://DWillard.org for a wide variety of resources and opportunities that can serve as a means to help you “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Dallas Willard Ministries exists to proclaim, teach and manifest the love, truth and transforming power of Christ and the Kingdom of God.

	20 Jan 2025	19. Finding the Kingdom of God Now, Through Jesus and His Words (2004)	00:55:49
Finding the Kingdom of God Now, Through Jesus and His Words Baylor University and Truitt Seminary Church Staff Retreat Retreat Theme: For Such a Time as This February 23-24, 2004 Overheads: Obedience is the organ of knowledge in the spiritual life. “If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things that are above where Christ sits on the right hand of the Father. Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth, for you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ and God. When Christ who is our life shall appear with him, glorious.” Colossians 3:1-4 (slightly paraphrased) Does the gospel I preach have a natural tendency to produce disciples as distinguished from consumers of religious goods and services? The Great Commission: “I have been given say over everything in heaven and on earth. So, as you go, make disciples of all kinds of people, gather them in trinitarian reality, and teach them in such a way that they do all things I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you every moment, until the job is done.” Matt. 28:18-20 (Willard paraphrase) Who is an Apprentice of Jesus? As Jesus’ apprentice (disciple, student), I am learning from him how to lead my life in the Kingdom of God as he would lead my life if he were I.

	24 Feb 2025	24. Learning How to Reliably Recognize the Voice of God in Your Soul (1993)	01:18:46
Learning How to Reliably Recognize the Voice of God in Your Soul This is the fourth session from a 3-day conference hosted by African Enterprise with the theme “Hearing the Voice of God.” Pietermaritzburg, South Africa August 17, 1993 In today’s episode, Dallas is teaching about how we can learn to know God’s voice. There are three characteristics of God’s voice that we will learn to identify by experience: quality, spirit and content. Dallas also refers back to this list of communication methods from the last session: 1. Phenomenon plus voice; 2. Supernatural messenger or angel; 3. Dreams and visions; 4. Audible voice; 5. The human voice; and 6. The "spirit of man," or the "still small voice." For Further Study Dallas mentioned FB Meyer’s book The Secret of Guidance. Read the foreword Dallas wrote for a new edition of the book in 2010. The story about Gideon and the fleece is in Judges 6:36-40.

	03 Mar 2025	25. Does God Speak Today? : Facing the Issues (1993)	01:12:30
Does God Speak Today? : Facing the Issues This is the fifth session from a 3-day conference hosted by African Enterprise with the theme “Hearing the Voice of God.” Pietermaritzburg, South Africa August 17, 1993 This episode focuses on four general assumptions that keep people from entering into a life of conversation with God: God would not communicate with run-of-the-mill human beings by surrounding them with His presence and speaking to them. God does not communicate with individuals directly. God cannot communicate with human beings. God should not communicate with individuals. For Further Study: The Frank Laubach book Dallas wants us to rush right out and read is Game with Minutes. The other book mentioned is Letters by a Modern Mystic. Both of these are contained in Laubach’s book, Man of Prayer.

	10 Mar 2025	26. The Kind of Person That God Speaks to in Fullness (1993)	00:58:41
The Kind of Person That God Speaks to in Fullness This is the sixth session from a 3-day conference hosted by African Enterprise with the theme “Hearing the Voice of God.” Pietermaritzburg, South Africa August 17, 1993 The kind of person that God speaks to in fullness is the kind of person that the word of God flows into, overruns, overwhelms, moves through and becomes a social and historical reality where they are. You’ll see this in: 1. People whose belief in the substance and power of God’s word opens them up like a channel. 2. Disciples of Jesus who have learned to work with the power and authority of the word. 3. Those who live with God’s word so richly that it becomes a reality that is working in its own right. Some of the realities of God’s word that are touched on in this episode are explained more deeply in session three of Dallas’s series, “The Parabolic Teaching About Christ’s Kingdom by Christ Himself.” Visit https://DWillard.org for a wide variety of resources and opportunities that can serve as a means to help you “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Dallas Willard Ministries exists to proclaim, teach and manifest the love, truth and transforming power of Christ and the Kingdom of God.

	31 Mar 2025	29. Doing What Jesus Did, Part 1: The Vision (2002)	01:58:30
Doing What Jesus Did, Part 1 (The Vision) Conference Theme: “Doing What Jesus Did.” This is the first of two teaching sessions presented at the Vineyard Church of Columbus, Ohio. November 16, 2002 In this episode, Dallas presents a compelling vision of who Jesus is, opening with a study of Philippians 2:5-11: Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

	14 Apr 2025	32. What's So Good About Good Friday (2010)	00:23:00
What’s Good About Good Friday? A Sunday sermon given at The Church of the Apostles in Fairfax, Virginia. February 21, 2010 For Futher Study: 1. Visit DWillard.org and read the “The Craftiness of Christ” to learn more about what was really happening on the way to the cross. There are two versions on our site, and we’re linking to “the Director’s Cut” because it includes more detail about what was happening in the spiritual battle between Jesus and Satan. 2. Dallas always encouraged everyone NOT to get wrapped up in atonement theories, but if you’re interested in more of Dallas’s thoughts about the primary strengths and weaknesses of the three most prominent atonement theories, see Getting the Elephant out of the Sanctuary on Conversatio.org. Many thanks to Gary Moon for convincing Dallas to sit down and talk with him about this!
